This document discusses various topics in robotics including robot configurations, localization and mapping, motion planning, and motor control. It describes how a robot's configuration can be specified by six numbers corresponding to its six degrees of freedom. Localization and mapping are framed as probabilistic inference problems that require accurate sensor and motion models. Motion planning involves finding trajectories in the robot's configuration space and various techniques like cell decomposition and probabilistic roadmaps can be used to discretize this space. Motor control balances deterministic and stochastic optimal control approaches.

k-MLE: A fast algorithm for learning statistical mixture modelsFrank Nielsen
This document describes a fast algorithm called k-MLE for learning statistical mixture models. k-MLE is based on the connection between exponential family mixture models and Bregman divergences. It extends Lloyd's k-means clustering algorithm to optimize the complete log-likelihood of an exponential family mixture model using Bregman divergences. The algorithm iterates between assigning data points to clusters based on Bregman divergence, and updating the cluster parameters by taking the Bregman centroid of each cluster's assigned points. This provides a fast method for maximum likelihood estimation of exponential family mixture models.
This document discusses modal analysis and parameter estimation. It introduces single degree of freedom (SDOF) and multi degree of freedom (MDOF) system theory, including equations of motion, transfer functions, frequency response functions, and impulse responses. Parameter estimation can be performed in the frequency domain using FRFs or the time domain using impulse response functions. The goal is to estimate modal parameters like natural frequencies, damping ratios, and mode shapes.
Stochastic Frank-Wolfe for Constrained Finite Sum Minimization @ Montreal Opt...Geoffrey Négiar
We propose a novel Stochastic Frank-Wolfe (a.k.a. conditional gradient) algorithm for constrained smooth finite-sum minimization with a generalized linear prediction/structure. This class of problems includes empirical risk minimization with sparse, low-rank, or other structured constraints. The proposed method is simple to implement, does not require step-size tuning, and has a constant per-iteration cost that is independent of the dataset size. Furthermore, as a byproduct of the method we obtain a stochastic estimator of the Frank-Wolfe gap that can be used as a stopping criterion. Depending on the setting, the proposed method matches or improves on the best computational guarantees for Stochastic Frank-Wolfe algorithms. Benchmarks on several datasets highlight different regimes in which the proposed method exhibits a faster empirical convergence than related methods. Finally, we provide an implementation of all considered methods in an open-source package.
A new implementation of k-MLE for mixture modelling of Wishart distributionsFrank Nielsen
This document discusses a new implementation of k-MLE for mixture modelling of Wishart distributions. It begins with an overview of the Wishart distribution and its properties as an exponential family. It then describes the original k-MLE algorithm and how it can be adapted for Wishart distributions by using Hartigan and Wang's strategy instead of Lloyd's strategy to avoid empty clusters. The document also discusses approaches for initializing the clusters, such as k-means++, and proposes a heuristic to determine the number of clusters on-the-fly rather than fixing k.

Skiena algorithm 2007 lecture16 introduction to dynamic programmingzukun
This document summarizes a lecture on dynamic programming. It begins by introducing dynamic programming as a powerful tool for solving optimization problems on ordered items like strings. It then contrasts greedy algorithms, which make locally optimal choices, with dynamic programming, which systematically searches all possibilities while storing results. The document provides examples of computing Fibonacci numbers and binomial coefficients using dynamic programming by storing partial results rather than recomputing them. It outlines three key steps to applying dynamic programming: formulating a recurrence, bounding subproblems, and specifying an evaluation order.
This document discusses properties of pseudo-random numbers and methods for generating random numbers computationally. It covers:
- Properties of pseudo-random numbers including being continuous between 0 and 1 and uniformly distributed.

- Desirable properties for random number generators including being fast, requiring little memory, having a long cycle or period, and producing numbers that are close to uniform and independent.
This document discusses harmonics in rotating electrical machines. It explains that the magnetic field produced by windings or slots can be expressed as the sum of the fundamental and higher frequency harmonic components. These harmonics are caused by the non-sinusoidal nature of the magnetic field and can produce unwanted voltages. The magnitudes of the harmonic voltages depend on factors like the coil span and winding configuration, which can be designed to reduce specific harmonics. Harmonics can also be generated through negative and positive sequence currents interacting with the rotor magnetic field.

1) The document presents data on the daily productivity of 3 operators over 5 days.
2) A one-way ANOVA was conducted to test if the productivity of the 3 operators was the same.
3) The results of the one-way ANOVA were that the F-statistic (5.907) was greater than the critical F-value (3.885), so the null hypothesis that the productivity means of the 3 operators are the same is rejected.
This document discusses an adaptive step-size method for the Frank-Wolfe algorithm that eliminates the need for a manually selected step-size parameter. It presents the standard Frank-Wolfe algorithm and the Demyanov-Rubinov variant that uses a step-size based on sufficient decrease. It then proposes an adaptive Frank-Wolfe algorithm that replaces the global Lipschitz constant L with a local constant Lt, allowing for potentially larger step sizes. This adaptive approach is shown to maintain sufficient decrease and can be extended to other Frank-Wolfe variants like away-steps Frank-Wolfe.

3) Forming the element stiffness matrix and load vector for each element using the Galerkin method.
4) Assembling the element matrices and vectors to form the overall global system of equations that can be solved for the nodal displacements.
Optimal multi-configuration approximation of an N-fermion wave functionjiang-min zhang
We propose a simple iterative algorithm to construct the optimal multi-configuration approximation of an N-fermion wave function. That is, M≥N single-particle orbitals are sought iteratively so that the projection of the given wave function in the CNM-dimensional configuration subspace is maximized. The algorithm has a monotonic convergence property and can be easily parallelized. The significance of the algorithm on the study of entanglement in a multi-fermion system and its implication on the multi-configuration time-dependent Hartree-Fock (MCTDHF) are discussed. The ground state and real-time dynamics of spinless fermions with nearest-neighbor interactions are studied using this algorithm, discussing several subtleties.
This document provides an overview of communication engineering concepts including probability, random variables, and noise. It defines key probability terms and axioms. Random variables are introduced as functions that assign outcomes to real numbers, and common distributions like Gaussian, Rayleigh, uniform, and exponential are described. Noise sources are classified as external or internal to a communication system, with thermal noise defined using Boltzmann's constant within a bandwidth.
Numerical Algorithm for a few Special FunctionsAmos Tsai
This document describes numerical algorithms for calculating some common special functions in floating point format, including:
- Exponent (exp) - Calculates 2^s for a given floating point value s by resolving the integer and fractional parts separately using binary representations and Taylor series expansions.
- Natural Logarithm (log) - Calculates log base 2 of a given floating point value s by converting s to an exponent representation and resolving the fractional part using a Taylor series around 1.5.
- Trigonometric Functions (sin, cos) - Calculates sin and cos of a given floating point value s by using Taylor series expansions of the functions.

Multicasting in Linear Deterministic Relay Network by Matrix CompletionTasuku Soma
This document presents a new algorithm for multicasting in linear deterministic relay networks (LDRNs) that is faster than previous algorithms. The algorithm works by first solving the unicast subproblems using an existing algorithm, then determining the linear encoding matrices for each layer simultaneously using mixed matrix completion. This allows the encoding matrices for an entire layer to be determined at once, rather than one node at a time. The new algorithm runs in O(dq(nr)^3 log(nr)) time, which is faster than the previous best algorithm when n = o(r).

Strong convergence of an algorithm about strongly quasi nonexpansive mappingsAlexander Decker
This document presents an algorithm to solve the split common fixed-point problem (SCFPP) in Hilbert space. The algorithm is a modification of an existing algorithm for strongly quasi-nonexpansive operators. The author proves that under certain conditions, including the operators being demiclosed and the solution set being nonempty, the sequence generated by the algorithm converges strongly to a solution of the SCFPP. This extends and improves previous results on algorithms for solving split feasibility problems and common fixed-point problems.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network
Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
